The World's Best Keto Tortillas | Cottage Cheese Based! Easy and fast

Ingredients:

1 cup almond flour
1/4 cup coconut flour
1 tbsp psyllium husk powder (for better flexibility)
1/2 cup full-fat cottage cheese (strained)
1 tsp xanthan gum
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp sea salt
1 large egg
2 tbsp olive oil
2-4 tbsp warm water (adjust as needed)

Instructions:

Prepare Cottage Cheese & Mozzarella (if using): Strain the cottage cheese to remove excess liquid. If adding mozzarella, melt it in the microwave for about 30 seconds and let it cool slightly.

Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the almond flour, coconut flour, psyllium husk powder, xanthan gum, baking powder, and sea salt.

Add Cottage Cheese & Mozzarella: Stir in the strained cottage cheese, melted mozzarella, egg, and olive oil into the dry ingredients.

Adjust Moisture with Water: Gradually add warm water, a tablespoon at a time, until the dough is soft and pliable but not sticky. The addition of psyllium husk should help improve texture.

Rest the Dough: Let the dough rest for 10-15 minutes, allowing it to firm up.

Roll Out the Dough: Divide the dough into small balls and roll each between parchment paper into thin, round tortillas.

Bake and Fry (optional): Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly bake the tortillas on a baking sheet for about 3-5 minutes to set them. Then finish by frying each tortilla in a skillet over medium heat for 1-2 minutes per side until lightly browned and flexible.

Storage: Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days or freeze for longer.

Absolutely love your channel, man! Always enjoy your videos!

Dave, please do not ever change! I love your "real" cooking approach!!! We're out here and will find you!!!

[karynstouffer]

I'm not ashamed to admit, I snickered a little at "small balls."

Watching you make mistakes is why we love you, Dave. You remind us that we are all human, and oopsies will be made. The most important thing, though, is that through you, we learn how to get there. We learn how to overcome our mistakes so we don't just give up.
Thank you!

One of your commenters said to simply rinse the cottage cheese rather than squeeze out the cream and make a mess. I tried it and it worked great! Thank you to whom ever that was.

I think if you remember the egg, and also re-soften the mozzarella, you'd have better outcome with it. Also, mix the ingredients into the melted mozzarella by kneading with your hands. This is basically a modified fathead dough, and hand-kneading always works best for me with fathead.

One other tip: use a heavy book or cutting board on top of the parchment paper as an improvised tortilla press instead of rolling them out. Quicker and easier way to get a nice round shape from each dough ball.

Also, I think it would be fun to see you take some of the ideas from comments on your recipes and re-make them just to see if the suggestions are any good.

Wouldn’t it be easier to leave the cottage cheese liquid instead of adding water?
Looking forward to trying this! Thank you!

I love this channel. Most of the other channels edit out all the great footage of how imperfect end product can be. You should get a tortilla press, may make it easier. I don't think there are gonna be any keto tortilla recipes that won't require one. It's difficult rolling it out thin enough and then having to deal with peeling them up without damaging them.

😂😂😂this was the best comedy cooking I've ever watched. I'll be back for more👍🏾

You could still do the mozzarella, but don't melt it first. Also, you need a silicone spoon type spatula. It gets all those bits out of the bowl. I love mine!

[esther.f.g]

you keep surprising us with your recipes, thank you for your time and effort

[wildflower]

NO oxalates, for me, in the anything especially almond, I'll coconut or pork rind flour, plus the extra benefit of these being lower carbs! These look so yummy!

[alisonwasserman]

Leave them on the parchment paper when you bake them. That’s what parchment paper is for: being a non-stick surface.

You are a great cook! Your willingness to experiment and film it for us is awesome. We appreciate you and enjoy your videos. Please keep making videos and we'll be here watching. Thank you for another great video! ♥️♥️♥️

[tinak]

That's probably why you had trouble with the mozzarella cheese.Because the egg was not in there 'cause the egg is a binder, not the cheese.

[NormaDelRizzo]

Oh Dave, that was a hot mess today but i still enjoy watching the storm! I love that you seem to not give a rats ass about the trolls and you know there will be those on this on:) Also, Dave, get a friggin spatula! Its painful watching you add ingredients from one bowl to another, leaving ingredients behind because of the fork situation. I think you're great entertainment and plan on making the doritos from the other day! Thanks for your videos!

[tamdickerson]

Saw that lone egg on the side, I was saying "hey Dave the egg!"guess you didn't hear me lol. Try rolling your tortilla one at a time. I have to say I have never seen anyone try several at once or roll on oil usually just a little flour down to avoid sticking. I have to say they looked great small mistakes and all! Enjoy these keto recipes. Thanks Dave!

[awildagarcia]

Again I have to say NEVER I love your real cooking vibe!!!!

[rosepaul]

I just made this recipe because I've tried a few other tortilla recipes that were so -so. I like the flavor of these better. I did add a 1/4 tsp. of nutritional yeast. I did as someone here suggested and made flat patties, then pressed them between 2 silicone mats and a heavy cutting board. They were fairly easy to peel off the mats. I did bake them on parchment paper. Thanks Dave. This is a keeper recipe for me. I do suggest using Good Culture cottage cheese because it has less whey than Daisy. I love Daisy for eating but it is watery compared to Good Culture. My husband liked them and he doesn't eat low carb/keto .

[joycegonderman]

You are so entertaining! Never never change

[cindydemanche]
